| Hi Guys Had my first 2 flights (proper) with my EX today. I had previously just hovered and done setup in the garden at home. So today I took her out for a shakedown.
First flight was just FFF circuits and some mild wingovers. I must say, Im suprised at the turn of speed this thing has!!! Really hooking along 
Second flight I took her up nice and high to see the flip rate. Hmmm, a bit slow, and a bit wonky. I expected as such really. My HS is only about 2400, and I knew Id get some cyclic interaction with the servo horns mine came with. Sounded awesome though, lots of blade slap   
Did maybe 5 flips, then of into FFF again. Timers was set to 7 mins.........needs to be made 5   As I came in to land, with the timer beeping..........well lets just say I was lucky to get it down when I did. The HS fell off extremely quickly, plop bounce bounce, down lol.
Charging now. One pack was 10.2 the other was 9.8 . This is 2 3s packs for 6s.
Thoughts on the flights, need a larger pinion, HS needs to be up around 2800 for decent 3d. Ditching the borrowed GY240, as its SLOWWWWWWW!! lol It did hold well though. I have a Spartan but have been putting off putting it on the QJ, as I had it for a 90. Needs a lemon yellow canopy dammit!! lol Needs to shed some weight, although the weight did help it track nicely in silly FFF. Lastly I need to upgrade my batteries. Going to run Outrage 6s 2500. These are lighter than the Kong Power I have now, and from my experience they are better than Flightpower, Kong and Polyquest. Lighter than all and cheaper too. A
Anyhoo, I had fun with the QJ today, nothing fell offf or broke, and no crashing. A good day all in all 
If you bling it, they will come :D |
